Free Download A History of Some of China's Most Famous Landmarks (Audiobook)
English | ISBN: 9798882232381 | 2024 | 4 hours and 46 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 264 MB
Author: Charles River Editors
Narrator: Victoria Woodson
China has always fascinated outsiders, much in the same way that distant light fascinates someone looking down a dark road. It is both familiar and mysterious, ancient and new, and fully understanding it seems to always remain just out of reach. From the Great Wall to the ancient teachings of Confucius, China's natural and man-made wonders have been topics of interest among Westerners since the Middle Ages and the pursuit of trade routes both by land and sea, amazing Marco Polo and 19th century British expeditions in similar ways despite the passage of several centuries between them. The Great Wall of China is perhaps the wonder of the world that has most captured the human imagination, and as the quotes about it indicate, the wall has acquired special significance even outside of China. The places and ways in which it has taken hold vary greatly, but one thing is certain: the Great Wall of China is as amazing as it is mysterious, and it's as mundane as it is magical.

English | ASIN: B0CCW2VK5K | 2024 | 9 hours and 23 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 268 MB
Author: Caroline Crampton
Narrator: Caroline Crampton
Part cultural history, part literary criticism, and part memoir, A Body Made of Glass is a definitive biography of hypochondria. Caroline Crampton's life was upended at the age of seventeen, when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, a relatively rare blood cancer. After years of invasive treatment, she was finally given the all clear. But being cured of the cancer didn't mean she felt well. Instead, the fear lingered, and she found herself always on the alert, braced for signs that the illness had reemerged. Now, in A Body Made of Glass, Crampton has drawn from her own experiences with health anxiety to write a revelatory exploration of hypochondria-a condition that, though often suffered silently, is widespread and rising.

Free Download 10 Great What-Ifs of American History [TTC Audio]
English | March 29, 2024 | ASIN: B0CZB1T1XR | M4B@64 kbps | 4h 14m | 121 MB
Lecturer: Adam Jortner
History may appear logical and even inevitable: Things happened because they had to. But when you go back to examine the great turning points of the past, you quickly discover how choices, chances, and accidents played a huge rule in making the world we know today. Politicians, writers, explorers, and ordinary people all make choices that shape history. But examining the moments that define our history raises an important question: What if things had gone differently?
Historians have a term for this type of speculation. A "counterfactual" history imagines a different person, a different decision, different luck in a critical moment-and the way a small change could have transformed history as we know it. What if Christopher Columbus never got the money to sail in 1492? What if the Union lost the Battle of Gettysburg? Or President John F. Kennedy escaped assassination?
